Google Search Rank VISTA Solution — Important Notice!

Analytics · By On · 8 Comments

Omni­ture Engi­neer­ing Ser­vices devel­oped a large num­ber of Com­pli­men­tary VISTA Solu­tion — Google Search Rank solu­tions since it was announced sev­eral months ago.  We heard back from some of you about your suc­cess with the solu­tion but we encour­age you to send more.   If you have suc­cess sto­ries or com­ments on the devel­op­ment of the solu­tion then please send me an e-mail at pau­rigemma (at) omni​ture​.com

Impor­tant Notice: The solu­tion will no longer be com­pli­men­tary at the end of this month.  You need to have an agree­ment with your sig­na­ture on it before the end of the month or you will no longer be able to take advan­tage of this com­pli­men­tary VISTA solu­tion.  Start­ing Oct 1, stan­dard VISTA rates will apply.

Remem­ber, the Google Search Rank Solu­tion is a cus­tom built solu­tion; you will have a ded­i­cated engi­neer to design and build the solu­tion to work on your report suite/s.  The process can take a few weeks to get this cus­tom engi­neered solu­tion into pro­duc­tion, so please plan accordingly.

As always, post your com­ments or e-mail me at pau­rigemma (at) omni​ture​.com.  It is your com­ments and e-mails that keep me post­ing and give me ideas for future posts.  If you do decide to pur­chase an Engi­neer­ing Ser­vices solu­tion, make sure you men­tion the blog and you will get white glove treat­ment.

    The prob­lem with this Visa rule is it shows only 10% of the actual key­word data because all the Google list­ings do not have rank in the url string.

    Yes please, we would like this set up.

    Hi, wouldn’t it be pos­si­ble to write a javascript plug-in that grabs this infor­ma­tion from the refer­rer and puts it into an evar? Will Omni­ture sup­ply such a plug-in? What would the draw­backs be with such a plug-in com­pared to the VISTA solution?

      Eskil,
      Hi, wouldn’t it be pos­si­ble to write a JavaScript plug-in that grabs this infor­ma­tion from the refer­rer and puts it into an eVar?
      It def­i­nitely would be pos­si­ble to build a plug-in or sim­ply use the get­Query­Param plu­gin. Kskil, you bring up a great point that is worth reit­er­at­ing. Almost every­thing that can be done in VISTA can be done in the JavaScript on the page. VISTA is best used to cover sit­u­a­tions where you can not effi­ciently change the JavaScript or in sit­u­a­tions where VISTA is the only sys­tem that will allow you to accom­plish your objec­tives (such as send­ing encrypted data).

      Would Omni­ture build a plug-in?
      Omni­ture Con­sult­ing would be the group that would build the plug-in and it would be a paid engage­ment. There would be no dif­fer­ences in the report­ing, the main dif­fer­ences would be in how the code is han­dled. VISTA solu­tion can be copied to other report suites quickly and with­out test­ing, how­ever there is a cost. The code on the page is not as sim­ple to move and repli­cate yet there is no direct cost. The only cost would be the devel­op­ment and test­ing time.

    Hey guys, because you post rel­a­tive links in your posts — just noticed this — the links don’t work with feed­burner. If you use absolute URLs you’ll get the links work­ing — just one of these lit­tle quirks of using feed­burner to track your RSS.
    Really like this — have been using a hack in Google ana­lyt­ics to do some­thing sim­i­lar — good to see you guys run­ning this. Have just emailed my clients using site cat­a­lyst to get them to ‘upgrade’ to this.

    Hi — How can I repli­cate the report that is shown in the first image of this post? The one where you have orders by Key­words bro­ken out by search rank. I went through all the steps in this post to get the MOST value from this vista rule (cap­tur­ing search rank in prop & evar, using uni­fied sources, enabled a 5 item cor­re­la­tion between key­word, rank and page.…).

    Thanks
    Philip

      philip,
      I believe you get the report by look­ing at your Uni­fied Sources Key­word evar, pulling in the orders met­ric, then break­ing down by Google Search Rank. Have you tried that?

    Do you have any infor­ma­tion on how to track the sitelink posi­tion for Google organic searches?
